A Word In Season – Looking for Trouble

  • Posted by Bennett College
  • Categories A Word In Season, News

“Wade In The Water” is a spiritual embedded with codes apart from the lyrics referencing the Christian tradition of baptism. By faith, the slaves utilized the stealthy messages in those vocal roadmaps to pave their way to freedom on the Underground Railroad. The phrase, “God’s gonna trouble the water,” signaled our ancestors to find a body of water and immerse themselves to mask their scent from detection by the tracking bloodhounds. The familiar line, “God’s gonna trouble the water,” is our theme from the text!

When Life Gives You Lemons – Part 1

  • Posted by Bennett College
  • Categories A Word In Season

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is …

God’s Strength In Our Weakness

  • Posted by Bennett College
  • Categories A Word In Season

A story is told of a young woman who was mountain climbing with friends. During her accent, her safety rope slipped and the jerking motion dislodged one of her contact lenses. She was able to reach the summit, but to her dismay, her view was blurred because of having only one well-focused eye. Bless her heart! Her response was to ask God for help. The young woman thought, “Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me.”

A Prayer for Your Journey

  • Posted by Bennett College
  • Categories A Word In Season

God, You have been so good. You have preserved Your daughters for this mo-ment. Her robe represents her armor, protecting her from want; her cap is a helmet which guards against arrogance, ignorance, and pride; Let her degree serve as a witness to Your grace and a road map enfolding the path You have set for her. Now God, please cloak Your daughter with dignity, wrap her in Your peace, and fill her with confidence and heighten their discernment. Strengthen each Belle to stand up for what is right at all times, even if she must stand alone. Thank you for allowing the Bennett family to play a role in Your plan. We now send these young women forth into the world You have equipped them for.
